Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A slant-front bureau is a writing desk featuring a sloping hinged lid that opens down to create a flat writing surface, situated above a series of storage drawers. Originating in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, it became a standard form of domestic furniture across Britain.

Georgian bureaux were typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as oak, walnut, or mahogany, featuring hand-cut dovetailed drawer joints and solid timber back panels. Handles were commonly cast in brass, often paired with matching steel or brass lock mechanisms.

Authentic 18th-century bureaux feature hand-sawn dovetail joints, hand-planed timber surfaces, original brass swan-neck or oval backplate handles, and oak or pine drawer linings showing natural age-related shrinkage.

An antique oak bureau functions effectively as a compact home workspace or hallway statement piece, pairing deep timber tones with contemporary neutral wall colours, brass lighting, and minimalist decorative accents.

Clean the timber regularly using a soft, dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually to nourish the oak and protect the finish. Position the piece away from direct heat sources and radiators to prevent timber shrinkage or warping.
